My name is Ren

Chapter 177 The greatest power of man comes from thinking, thinking is a great force that drives all things

The next day, commonly known as the second day, was calm before noon, and Ren did not come out of the bedroom, which made many people breathe a sigh of relief.He even thought in his heart, isn't this somewhat famous golden nobleman just like this bird?After all, everything is worry-free, and it really is just a young man.He didn't care so much about Ren's request. Anyway, even if something happened, the city lord was on the front line, and many businessmen diverted their energies to their own affairs.

Before the rebels came to attack the city, in order to avoid losses, they drove their horses and livestock into the circle in the city.The city is indeed not small, and there are indeed not many residents, but tens of thousands of livestock are crowded together in the city, and the feces and excrement produced every day make the air of the whole city waft with a fresh and refined smell of feces.Commoners can be said to ignore this smell, they deal with these smells, and they don't care at all.But businessmen and dignitaries can't stand it, they smell this smell when eating, when they need convenience, and even when they sleep.

A large number of war horses and livestock were driven back to the pastures outside the city by the civilians, and the manure and excrement were also pulled outside the city by carts to become fertilizer for pasture.

In mid-May, the sun is scorching, scorching people and nourishing plants.The wind blew in gusts, carrying a faint smell of the sea, blowing away the strange smell in the city, and blowing open people's doors.

Today is a fine day with nice weather.

It was near noon that Ren came out of the room, dressed in military uniform, and the chief of staff knew that Ren was planning to go back as soon as his eyes lit up.There is no precedent for nobles to wear military uniforms during non-war periods, unless it is some major festivals, but even then, few people will wear military uniforms instead of formal ones.You must know that nobles pay attention to decency and upbringing, and military uniforms obviously do not meet their aesthetic standards. Only solemn, solemn, luxurious and exquisite formal clothing is their lifelong love.

"You are...", the chief of staff knew it well, but he still needed to confirm it.

Ren glanced at him without stopping, as if he didn't see this person.When passing by him, he left a sentence, "I'm going back, tell you the city lord, we will deal with each other in the future."

The chief of staff grinned, young people just like to talk big, and they will still deal with each other in the future?Knowing that you are such a dark person, with the stingy temper of the city lord, I am afraid that there will be no chance to deal with you in the future.He bent even lower, lowered his eyebrows and held his eyes and said: "Yes, you have important things to do, so you can't stay here longer. I only express my regret on behalf of myself and the city lord. We urgently I look forward to coming here when you have more time, and the city lord will definitely wait for your arrival with the warmest hospitality."

The metal spikes on the soles of the boots for anti-slip fell down with every move, making regular impact sounds. Ren didn't turn his head, and snorted softly.

The chief of staff personally sent Ren out of the city lord's mansion. Watching Ren and his army disappear on the road heading out of the city, the chief of staff happily jumped up and slapped his palms with red palms. Pat him grinning.Holding the hem of his robe, he hurried to the tower, looked at the city lord who was still suffering, and immediately brought him the good news.He smiled, leaned into the ear of the city lord and said, "My lord, good news, Ren knew he was hopeless and left."

The city lord weakly opened his eyes and glanced at the chief of staff. Although he was tossed enough, the news of Ren's departure still cheered him up.The city lord reluctantly raised his hand and dropped it heavily on the shoulder of the chief of staff, almost hitting him so that he staggered and fell to the ground.There was a look of admiration in the eyes of the city lord. He blinked and closed them again.The chief of staff lifted the castellan's arm, and forcefully stuffed the elephant-like arm back into the quilt, humming a little tune happily and leaving.

This thing was done beautifully, and his status in the heart of the city lord must be raised to another level.

Orlando has a very vulgar folk proverb, which makes sense: "If you don't have a chief of staff, you won't fart!"

Naturally, it is impossible for a city lord to have only one staff member, let alone two or three. Some great nobles have as many as ten or twenty or thirty staff staff, so many that they have to be divided into two or three echelons.Everyone is a master of brains, and no one is worse than the other. Why are you the chief of staff and I am just a small staff?One side wanted to stabilize its own position, while the other side launched attacks from time to time in an attempt to overthrow the chief of staff to the ground.The brutality of the struggle is far beyond the limits of what words can express.

There are countless smart people who died fighting for the special position of chief of staff.

However, the chief of staff whose position has been stabilized again seems to have forgotten one thing. He can become the chief of staff not because he has the ability to govern a city or state, nor because he is full of intrigues and tricks, but because he can do accounts. Know how to get more benefits from merchants.

Even the city lord seemed to have forgotten about it, and neither of them thought about paying attention to Ren, but instead focused on the extra half tax.

There are three most prosperous places in a city. The first place is always the front of the street where the city gate comes in. The closer the city gate is, the better it will be and the more prosperous it will be.Many people come to the city with a sense of novelty and a desire to explore. They will be curious about the first shops they see and have the urge to explore. They will pay attention to these places and write them down.

The second place is the end of the street. Under the visual bombardment of a dazzling array of commodities, people begin to feel tired and turn a blind eye to some shops or trading markets. When the road reaches the end, they will raise their spirits again and look forward to it. The view after the corner.He even took a few more glances at the shops and markets on the side.But when they turned the corner, they found that they still couldn't see anything distinctive, and they would become numb again, and this numbness would last until they left the city.

As for the third bustling place, it is naturally all kinds of gold selling caves.People's desires are endless, and endless desires also bring impulsive consumption.Just like many people think that today I want to find a girl with [-] coppers, drink a glass of wine with [-] coppers, and then take out [-] coppers to watch those dances that get hotter and sweat more.But in fact, the girl with [-] coppers became a girl with [-] coppers unknowingly, and the wine with [-] coppers was changed into a wine with [-] coppers for no reason, and she ordered two glasses.

Even at the end of the day, when I went to watch the hotter and sweatier dance, I spent another [-] coppers after spending the scheduled [-] coppers.

Is it over here?No, many people will find a reason to "round up" themselves, the depravity is uncontrollable.Since you have already spent [-] coppers, let's round up a round number. If you spend [-], then I won't come next week.

Why do people say that these places are the dwelling place of demons?Because people are always unable to resist these temptations, they always walk into the abyss step by step amidst the whispers of demons, and eventually their families are destroyed and they become slaves.

Westin's gold sales cave is very large, and all the big forces come here to do business, and the smaller ones dare not blatantly buy war horses to play with arms.So these people have money, and rich people always like to waste money, so these gold-selling caves have become a part of daily life.

But today, the routine is broken.

Two hundred black armored soldiers surrounded two casinos and a technical college. The panicked guests lifted their trousers, the bewildered skilled woman covered herself with thick clothes, and the pale-faced boss and clerks trembled. He was driven out with his legs swinging.They watched in despair as bags of silver coins, gold coins, and precious stones were loaded into the wagon.No one made a sound. The operator was afraid that his blind appearance would attract the knife that killed the chicken, and the onlookers were even more gloating.

Several boys escaped before the incident happened. They rushed towards the city lord's mansion and the security station. This kind of evil must be stopped!When less than 500 meters away from the former, a young boy was caught and beaten by several strong men, and then tied to a tree.Those who went to the latter ran in, but the captain of the guard was deaf today. Regardless of the boy's anxious invitations, explanations, and threats, the captain of the guard was like a candle in the wind in his seventies, staring blankly at the bright sunshine outside the door.

Good... free... ah...!
Before this group of thugs left, they left a sentence saying that the city lord asked the Black Armored Army to do it, because the city lord couldn't make up [-] gold coins, so they had to go to the city lord for any problems.

This scene didn't just happen here, but wherever there are casinos and technical colleges, today they have suffered.Some ordinary people may have complaints about Ryan and his soldiers, but more of them are happy to hear.Casinos and technical colleges are probably the most unloved places, bar none.The former will cause people to go bankrupt and their families will be destroyed, while the latter will cause wives to be separated and families to be broken up.Most people with conscience are very happy to see these people suffer.

In addition, outside the city is the main battlefield of Rennes.

Looking at the black clouds of war horses in the pasture, Ren's eyes burst into light.In the shitty place of Ortrenburg, you can't buy a few war horses at all, but there are a lot of bad horses.Merchants dare to double or several times the price just by pulling over something hundreds of kilometers away.The most hateful thing is that they don't sell too many at a time, ten or twenty horses, which are of no use to Rennes who is eager to expand.

At this moment, he raised his finger and pointed at the horses in front of him, "I want all these. If you have any questions, you can ask your city lord."

The rancher was silent, just watching hundreds of knights rushing into the ranch, leading the horses to run northeast after them.The rancher's suppressed anger finally boiled up. He broke free from the long sword hanging around his neck, knocked the knight around him off his horse with one punch, and kicked hard on the horse's buttocks under the seat on the other side.The war horse ran wildly in pain, and ran away a long way in the blink of an eye.He faced the shivering Ren with a grinning grin, jumped up and punched Ren, blackened his eye socket, and kicked him several times.Then he said righteously that he would desperately defend the sanctity of his private property, and he swore that he would go to the imperial capital to appeal and sue Ren for his misconduct...

Ren looked at the horse dealer beside him a little strangely, his eyes would be blank now, and he always smiled inexplicably.

Isn't it stupid?
